Automated Irrigation System Using Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

An automated irrigation system whose objective is to optimize water use for agricultural crops was implemented. It has a network of wireless soil-moisture and temperature sensors placed in the agricultural land. In addition to this a watering module handles sensor information, extracts required data from the string and triggers relay circuit to control pump. The WS nodes send data to a base station which in turn shows the data received in the desktop through a MoteWorks software from Crossbow i.e. MoteView. The data received is redirected to the arduino and the required datas from the entire string is extracted. Using a code the temperature and humidity values thus obtained is compared with the threshold and accordingly irrigation is done. Effective water administration is a noteworthy worry in numerous trimming frameworks in semiarid and parched zones. Sensor-based irrigation frameworks offer a potential answer for irrigation administration that permits makers to expand their profitability while sparing water.
